Brazilian superstar Kaka could be on his way to England with agents putting out feelers if clubs are interested in the 29-year-old midfielder.
Real Madrid are ready to sound out Chelsea about signing him for the right price.
The Spanish giants could be tempted to sell for around £30 million, even though the former European and World Footballer of the Year's fortunes at Real have recently improved, helping him win back his place in the Brazil side, according to the Daily Mirror.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich could be tempted to sign the playmaker to lift the fortunes of the Blues.
It was Kaka's mother who suggested in a tweet in May that he could be on his way to London and, despite his £59 million move from AC Milan two years ago, he is not guaranteed a place in the Jose Mourinho line-up.
The big-spending Blues are keen to improve their squad after their worst start to a season since Abramovich took over - although it is believed boss Andre Villas-Boas sees his forward line as top priority.
Chelsea are ready to offload striker Nicolas Anelka in January and may yet go back for Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.
Manchester City tried to buy Kaka from Milan in January 2009, but six months later he went to Real.
